Just a door away, the conversation in the corner of the medical wing continued.
"Get the OR ready. Remove her womb. Make sure it’s done before she wakes."
The pack healer went rigid with shock.
"Alpha... Remove her womb?!"
"Alpha—you don't have an heir! You do this, the pack will have no heir. The pack elders will never accept it!"
Cassian's voice was ice-cold, devoid of emotion.
"I don’t need an heir from Evelyn Carter. Annabelle delivered my heir yesterday. He will inherit everything. Evelyn’s womb is a threat."
The healer's face crumpled with disbelief.
"But that boy will carry another man's name, call another man Alpha. After seven miscarriages, The chances of Luna carrying another are barely there."
Cassian lit a cigarette, his voice bitter.
"Annabelle is my true mate, I’d do anything for her, I don't care some Moon Goddess pairing."
"Alpha, but—"
"Enough." He frowned. "Do it."
Just as Cassian got up to go, his phone buzzed. He hit speaker by mistake.
"Alpha, got the cash. Hell, after seven jobs, I could do this shit in my sleep. Next time, I’ll wear a vampire disguise—really carve up that Luna's belly—"
"No next time. Take your money and disappear from Moonvale."
Footsteps approached from deeper inside.
I stumbled back to my room, barely making it to the bed before Cassian entered.
"Evelyn, you're up. When did you wake up?"
Sweat beaded on my forehead as I fought to appear normal.
"Just woke up. You weren't here, so I thought I'd stretch my legs."
His eyes narrowed slightly, studying my face.
My wolf whimpered with terror. Just when I thought he'd caught me, he scooped me up and settled me back on the bed.
"Baby, you scared the hell out of me. We already lost our pup—I can't handle losing you too."
He dared to mention our pup.
Thinking of all the puppies he'd murdered, I pressed a hand to my chest as grief threatened to overwhelm me.
Those accidents, the attacks, the fall—all of it orchestrated by my own mate.
"The heal needs to do a follow-up procedure. Just to make sure everything's healing properly."
"I know losing the baby hurts, but we'll try again. We'll have the most beautiful pup—strong like their Alpha, gentle like their mother."
Cassian handed me a vial of potion. In the brief moment he turned away, I saw a thick, dark liquid shimmer as something else mixed in and vanished.
He pulled me close, his expression soft with false concern.
But I could see through the mask now. Every gentle touch was a lie.
"Do I really need to drink this? I'm not very thirsty..."
Cassian, you've slaughtered seven of my children. Now you want to steal my very ability to be a mother?
He didn't even pause, stroking my hair with that practiced tenderness.
"Come on, don't be difficult. You need your strength to heal. You want your Alpha to worry himself sick?"
"Let me help you with that."
He pressed the glass to my lips, his grip firm enough that refusal wasn't an option.
I closed my eyes, each swallow feeling like liquid fire burning down my throat.
As the drugs took hold, I saw the healer slip into the room through my blurring vision.
"Begin immediately. And..."
Cassian's voice dropped to barely a whisper.
"Make sure she can’t walk again."
"Get the OR ready. Remove her womb. Make sure it’s done before she wakes."
The pack healer went rigid with shock.
